As explained to me Dave Twigger the purpose of the kickdown switch is to =
prevent the overdrive unit being subjected to reverse torque which it is =
not designed to handle.
As I understand it, if the overdrive is treated with respect, and the =
clutch is used during disengagement there will be no problems but, if =
you flip the switch off when cruising at high speed without using the =
clutch to minimize the reverse loading on the overdrive, the planetary =
gear assembly can be severly damaged.=20
The kickdown switch prevents this.

Thanks as always , Don=20
